BBQ catering in Fernhill, served hot
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We serve beef burgers, chicken skewers and pulled pork, and we’re often booked for garden parties and leaving parties.
Country barbecues near Fernhill are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
Fernhill questions
What’s the nearest station to Fernhill?
The closest is Gatwick Airport station, roughly 1 mile away.
Is Fernhill close to London?
About 24 miles from central London.
What do children normally eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Let us know numbers for children.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Can you cater in Fernhill?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
